Speaker Mike Johnson is the most incompetent, feckless, pathetic speaker in American history. He has neutered an important institution and badly damaged our democracy. He will be remembered as a sniveling coward and an enabler of the worst president ever. *That* is an objective fact.

1. For the SECOND TIME IN SIX MONTHS, a foreign real estate development led by Jared Kushner has been derailed by a GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION SCANDAL and mass protests. Follow along for all the gory details. 🧵 popular.info/p/kushners-a...

I would love for one (1) Democratic candidate to respond to this kind of bullshit by saying "My opponent is a panty-sniffing creep who wants to inspect your children's genitals."

"Journalism" as a non-partisan, almost professional job wholly apart from pamphleteers and the yellow press was a particular result of the specific economics of reproduction and distribution and the American postwar. It was a pretty, delicate, soap bubble, and it is gone now

Chris Cillizza is such a feckless, simpish, unremarkable troll cosplaying as a truth-to-power media critic. he's so foundationally embarrassing I'm surprised he isn't in charge of CBS or CNN yet

to my mind the most important biographical fact to know about samuel alito is that he was a member of a group that opposed the admission of women and minorities to princeton www.nytimes.com/2005/11/27/p...

President Trump has no public events on his schedule again today. That means it has now been one week since he has appeared publicly for anything besides a pre-taped interview. His last public event was his cabinet meeting last Wednesday, one day after his trip to Walter Reed.

Who is the WE you are talking about here? Because taking credit for this when activists were beaten, gassed, trampled, shot with rubber bullets and arrested by Mikie Sherrill’s state police isn’t the flex you think it is.

Frankly, I couldn't possibly care less how these idiots "feel" about anything.

How do these justices live with themselves?

Alabama case came out exactly as predicted. No one should be shocked or surprised. This is a completely corrupt and broken Supreme Court that literally went against its own reasoning to promote a rigged, racist map in Alabama to help Republicans. Reform the Court or democracy dies.

If Democrats aren't advocating for massive Supreme Court reform, then they aren't the change you seek or need, folks. If they aren't willing to fight or campaign on this, then we're totally f'd.

There is no legal recourse the Supreme Court will allow. It’s “white’s win always” and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. thehill.com/regulation/c...

the death of 60 minutes and the rest of the VRA on the same night really brings home how the current conservative project is to kill the progress and ideals of the mid century

A failed op-ed writer bankrolled by billionaires purging a universally liked and credible straight news journalist from 60 Minutes really has to be the height of the complete slide of American news media into a complete death spiral.

The low-hanging fruit is Blanche and maybe half a dozen others involved with the "fund." You campaign on putting them in prison, no one will stop you. "Intent to defraud," "two billion of your money to insurrectionists, crooks..." No one dares. That's how you get people used to the idea.

How embarrassing. All of these men are so insecure that it’s absolutely hilarious - and more than a little sad.

Sorry but this is just not what happened. It is a WRITTEN settlement. Blanche told Congress the administration would not move forward but REFUSED to put anything in writing. This would allow Trump to change his mind at any time.

Trying to understand how it’s legal for a POTUS to tell voters he’ll ensure their state receives funding if they vote like he tells them to while promising they won’t receive the said funding if they disobey his orders on who to vote for Thought we fought a revolution over this?

To be clear: the lower court said the map intentionally discriminates against black people in violation of the *constitution* (not just the VRA) and the MAGA Majority of SCOTUS is saying "that's ok now."

We live in a white supremacist country under the rule of a white supremacist Supreme Court and President.

ngl, Schumer endorsing Platner but not Zohran is funny af, really highlights his racism.

🚨BREAKING: All I can say is this is fucking so cynical I have no words. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

George Santos: 1. Posted a video the day before Trump's State of the Union saying he was going to be there 2. Bet on Kalshi that he would not attend the SOTU 3. Did not attend the SOTU www.npr.org/2026/06/02/n...

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

They shot and killed two Americans in cold blood.

It's not a good sign for your democracy when the attorney general is "not committing to doing anything in writing."

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

cool, so don’t fund his agency

this is the kind of merit that pete hegseth has brought to the department of defense

Congressional statute: "There is a Director of National Intelligence who shall be appointed by the President ... Any individual nominated for appointment as Director of National Intelligence shall have extensive national security expertise." 50 U.S. Code § 3023

Fuck me, this is Bill Pulte. The guy who was using mortgage data to launch DOJ investigations against Lisa Cook, Letitia James and Adam Schiff. He is being put in charge of national intelligence because of his track record of being willing to manufacture false allegations to target Trump's enemies.

We Rate Dogs is a good dude. The internet got lucky with him.

this is a core fascist narrative

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

Mikie Sherrill’s state police destroyed the mutual aid tent for families of the detained that had been in operation at Delaney Hall for more than a year, providing clothes, food, even stuffies for the kids. They just trashed it. I’m pretty speechless at the kind of person you have to be to do this

Monroe, born 100 years ago today. When Ella Fitzgerald couldn’t get booked at the Mocambo Club because she was Black, Monroe called the owner and told him: if he booked Ella, she would take a front table every night. And she did. #RIP

The correct terms are "racism" and "sexism," not anti-diversity politics.

what this shows is that it has always been within the power of congressional republicans to say no to this man, and they must be held accountable for all the times they did not

While mass arrests were being made last night outside of Delaney Hall, the courageous people imprisoned inside continue their strike. The problem isn’t just with Delaney. The entire US concentration camp system is rife with abuse, neglect, and loss of life. They should ALL be shut down immediately.

Graham Platner: ‘I Didn’t Know Extramarital Sexting Was A Symbol For Cheating’

the trump official — who led the siege & occupation of Minneapolis — admitting to having an ongoing dialogue/rapport with Martin Sellner, a straight-up Nazi who influenced the Christchurch shooter, while speaking at a conference about remigration (read: ethnic cleansing) is a pretty big deal!

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

I'm sorry, but I've got to talk about this, because this shit is dangerous. It's a truth universally acknowledged that *at the very least until relatively recently,* Graham Platner was a scumbag. The type of reddit chud who'd blame women for being raped and muse about imagined failings of Black ppl

love to dissect fox news propaganda so who is this "sports legend" backing spencer pratt in the la mayor race? someone big in la sports? is it magic? shaq? kareem? gretzky? lol no its... sinjin smith, a beach volleyball player who competed in the 1994 goodwill games and won a bronze.

This is vile gaslighting by the NJ AG, covering up for violent assaults by state cops on peaceful protesters tonight. Gas masks and helmets are not “arms”. The only people who put the public at risk were the cops. What a disgusting performance.

Cops raiding a mutual aid tent, where Delaney Hall protesters could get food, water, first aid supplies, etc.
